This is how I made my hat, The patterning took trial and error but from then on it was simple.

I hope this comes in handy for anyone, please let me know if you use it and if you see something which you think is wrong, please do let me know. Any other questions, feel free to ask!

My hat lacks a buckle I know, it's on my first version of the hat which was store-bought and modified (INACCURATE!) and I've lost it. When I find it I shall take the buckle from that and sew it onto this new hat, but for now - unless I find a cheap little buckle, this hat shall be buckleless!

Ahhhh that's awesome! What an awesome first cosplay, I highly approve Uhmmm... That is a very good question... It should cost no more than $10. I made this hat before I started keeping track on costs so I can only give a rough estimate I'm afraid D;

This was definitely come in handy! :3 I was actually looking for a hat similar to this, but with a different color, but maybe I'll try to make one by using your guidelines Thanks so much for making this tutorial! ♥♥
